Chapter 182: Flattered
"Seeing that the princess is unharmed, the courtiers are relieved."
In addition to the light and breezy appearance on Yan Biyu's face, there was actually a trace of joy, as if she had been waiting to meet Qin Huai.
Qin Huai watched her pick up Xunyang from under his feet, hugged her chin in her arms, and looked intimate, you must know that Xunyang didn't like Yan Biyu very much before, otherwise he wouldn't have let him raise him for three months.
However, Xunyang was originally what she asked for from her uncle, and now it is just that it has been returned to its original owner.
"How did you end up here? Didn't you forget your grandfather's advice. β
Grandfather didn't like the Yan family's daughters going in and out of Xunyang, let alone entering the palace to run for the side concubine, although now that the grandfather is gone, it doesn't mean that they can do whatever they want.
"This time, I came on behalf of the Bai family, but I also have the meaning of my father. The Yan family has been an official for several generations, and it should have been in Xunyang, but now the dispute about you has passed, and it is really helpless to leave you for ten years, and my father thinks that he should take care of you, otherwise I am sorry for Aunt Cijing. β
At the beginning, my grandfather said that when I returned to Yunzhou, there was something unspeakable, although my uncle was reluctant and reluctant to give up on himself, but his father's life was difficult to do, and he had to go back.
Now the head mother of the Yan family should be the Qiu family, her temperament and talent are enough to be the wife of the Yan family, and it is not bad to carefully assist her uncle.
Qin Huai is in Xunyang, except for her father's spoiling of her, there are only these friends around her, if her uncle is willing to come, or if her uncle really knows something about the inside story of the year, it may not be a bad thing for her.
"There are thousands of ways to return to Xunyang, why do you need to be so, you dare to say that you have no selfish intentions?"
But Bai's death is related to Qin Huai after all, and now Yan Biyu really let go of this grudge so simply.
If she really entered the mansion of the third emperor brother, she would be her imperial sister-in-law in the future, and with her sex and scheming that half of her little finger can't reach, she naturally has no threat to rice paper...... And it's my own family, so it's easier to take care of.
At least in Qin Huai's heart, Yan Biyu is not really a person with bad intentions, but Yan Makeup is a person with bad intentions from the inside out.
Yan Biyu sneered, and then smoothed Xunyang in her arms, and her eyes lost their original edge.
"My selfishness? My mother is dead, my sister is a concubine, and now I live like a puppet in the Bai family, and the best way is to be selected. β
Qin Huai didn't understand the meaning of the puppet she was talking about, but he just felt from the bottom of his heart that Yan Biyu might not have had such a smooth past few months.
After she came back, she heard that the Bai family took Yan Biyu on the grounds that her uncle didn't take care of her, but she didn't care about Yan Mingcheng's life or death, and let her be sent to Luo Nanqing's back house and become a concubine who couldn't even leave her name.
At the beginning, Qin Huai also hated Yan Cheng very much, but he didn't want to really make any trouble and tear his face with his uncle, so he agreed to Luo Nanqing's plea and fulfilled his infatuation.
But in this way, the most miserable person became Yan Biyu.
"What do you want me to do?"
I don't think it's a lie, Qin Huai is a person who is very easy to be soft-hearted, if she hadn't suddenly killed the Yan family, I'm afraid she would still be the eldest daughter of the Yan family, and she would still be able to happily marry the person she likes, instead of being so unhappy.
Qin Huai wanted to help her from the bottom of his heart, for her, helping Yan Biyu through this palace could not be a matter of opening her mouth and closing her mouth.
However, Yan Biyu rejected her kindness.
"You don't have to bother with me to do anything, she always said that her life was not good, if she had the opportunity to come to Xunyang, she would definitely prove herself in her own way. At that time, she looked down on me and felt that I was inferior to her in every way, and this time I also wanted to see if I was really that bad. β
After she finished speaking, she smiled lightly at Qin Huai, and then turned around and left with Xunyang in her arms. Xunyang snuggled in her arms, and she didn't forget to wag her fluffy tail at Qin Huai.
"Princess, eldest lady, why does she seem to have changed into a different person, it seems to be more and more like the second miss."
Mingyue remained silent, and after listening to the dialogue between the two, she reacted and pulled the princess to mutter.
"I'm afraid it's because I'm unhappy." Caixia didn't know what happened to them in Yunzhou, but after coming back, she heard Mingyue mention it once or twice, based on what Yan Biyu said, she could probably say a sentence or two, and she only had sympathy in her heart.
Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became heavy, only then did he understand why Mu Guanqing had to ask her to come, it turned out to be because of this.
"Princess Pingle has arrivedβ"
Approaching the Liuyun Pavilion, the father-in-law who was waiting outside the door hurriedly shouted when he saw Qin Huai, which alarmed the queen and the Ye family, as well as the originally orderly noblewomen.
Those noble ladies saluted Qin Huai one after another, only one or two of them still looked up at her, but they just glanced at her, as if they had really seen the one they had been talking about before.
Cao Yingying, the woman with a peculiar smell, was also selected?
Obviously, Cao Yingying didn't expect to meet Qin Huai in this place, and her gaze gradually became unbelievable, so Qin Huai staggered his gaze and pretended to have never met her.
"Huai'er has seen the queen mother and the concubine."
Qin Huai bowed lightly, and it was very abrupt among the kneeling noblewomen.
"Huai'er is here, come and sit, thirty-two noble girls have entered the palace today, you can also help take a look." You all get up, it's just a small gathering in the palace, don't be nervous. β
The queen beckoned Qin Huai to sit beside her, took Qin Huai's hand and was about to start introducing her one by one.
But the queen lied just now, this is not a small gathering, but a secret inspection, screening out the noble girls who are not up to the mark, have deviations in appearance, or are not good enough for everyone's demeanor, and then there are noble girls who are not compatible with their temperament.
"Look, this is Kexin, the daughter of Cheng Taibao's family, you played together when you were a child, this is Qian Shilang's youngest daughter Xiangxiang, and ......"
Qin Huai patiently looked over one by one and nodded hello to these noble ladies.
What Cheng Taibao Cheng Kexin, when she was a child, Qin Yue and Qin Huai competed, and a fire ignited her hair, and I don't know if this girl still remembers...... That Qian Xiangxiang, it seems that he had something to do with the plum blossom jun who smelled the people and smiled before, and he made a lot of noise, and now he actually came to choose a side concubine?
When the queen introduced Yan Biyu, it was obvious that only a few people knew that Qin Huai was demoted to Yunzhou at the beginning, and this matter was not to be publicized, so she just laughed hurriedly.
"Qin Huai, do you feel familiar with this?"
Without waiting for Qin Huai to answer, Luo's was probably afraid that something would be missed, so he quickly picked it up by himself.
"This is the eldest daughter of your mother's concubine's own brother, her name is Yan Biyu, and she is also your cousin. She has been growing up in Yunzhou with your uncle before, and if you look closely, you are actually one or two points similar. β
Are one or two points similar?
Qin Huai never felt that the two of them had any resemblance.
But after all, it was the queen who spoke, even if it was referring to the deer as a horse, the nobles did not dare not answer, so they had to express their agreement.
Yan Biyu was at ease, she didn't feel superior because of this, and like other nobles, she just saluted Qin Huai, and didn't even stop her eyes on Qin Huai.
At this time, Cao Yingying was about to hold back, and she was about to come forward to speak. She didn't believe it, she felt that Qin Huai was familiar, like the Bai Mingyue before. Yan Biyu was also present at the beginning, telling her that this was the daughter of the Bai family, why did she become the famous princess of Pingle today.
But Qin Huai doesn't have to make a move, a "restless" woman like this is definitely going to be picked out today, as long as she remains silent, then no accident will happen.
Until the voice fell on Cao Yingying's body, sure enough, she said a word.
"The courtiers are very familiar with Princess Pingle, and they seem to have seen it in the above places, I don't know if the princess has ever been to Yunzhou."
Qin Huai didn't bother to talk to her at all, but anyone with a brain would not ask about such a thing, and even Yan Biyu's silence failed to remind her that this kind of woman had no need to stay in the palace at all.
Qin Huai pretended to be smoked, and moved his body back slightly, covering his mouth and nose.
"How can this Miss Cao have such a heavy smell of spices, don't you know that the palace is strict about the use of incense, what should you do if you collide with the queen's mother." β
When he said this, Qin Huai looked at the queen, Ying Ying smiled lightly, and said something else.
The queen understood what she meant, and naturally knew that Cao Yingying, the stupid girl, should be beaten.
"Yes, Xi'er, I don't know if the palace can't smell the strong fragrance, and I don't take Miss Cao down to clean up."
In the last place, it is the queen's niece Luo Mingzhu, who sits in the last position, which is naturally the finale of the day. is worthy of being the daughter of the Luo family, and they are all bright-eyed and looking forward to the appearance.
She sat there, like a person of noble status, giving people the feeling that she was born to marry into the emperor's family and be honored for a lifetime.
But her eyes really don't look like a layman, there is no nervousness that a country woman has never seen the world, and there is no fearless pride, just like a lonely cold, and she doesn't care about anyone.
This kind of look is like rice paper when we meet for the first time.
Just at this glance, Qin Huai felt that who else would be the concubine?
However, she is a member of the queen's mother's family, and there are pros and cons if she is really selected......
"Mingzhu is my niece, she grew up beside me since she was a child, I am most relieved, this time I will bring her to see the world."
If only it were as simple as seeing the world.
Looking around, Ye Hanshuang was smiling, and he had the same attitude towards every noblewoman. It's just that what Qin Huai didn't expect was that this time, the Ye family didn't put people in.
How can it be said that the Ye family also has a high status in the court, and Mu Guanqing quickly spoke highly of several loyal ministers of the Ye family, if they really have this intention, this is a good opportunity.
"Thirty-two noble ladies are here?" Qin Huai looked sideways and looked at Ye Hanshuang.
"It's all here, it's time for everyone to meet today, talk and laugh casually, maybe they will be a family in the future."
